I can't help it that Smitty and I can shoot both makers guns with such aplomb[/QUOTE]

That's probably my problem. I'm shooting my guns with shotgun shells and you're using plums.

Margaret and I had a great time. Thanks to Harold for him using the Gator to get me out of the mud! Thanks to Edgar and Allan for the after shoot fixings. Great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. See you next year!

As always, it was great seeing our Parker brethren and many thanks to all who threw some lead at our Bo-Whoop event. Not sure you guys were around for this very special "walk-in" but it was certainly a weekend highlight for us fans of Philly's Finest!

As you know, our SBT event is called the William Letterman Classic in honor of William C. Letterman, acclaimed PA trap shooter who endorsed the Fox SBT. In June of 1923, Willy won the PA State Championship shooting a J-grade Fox single. So what comes waltzing in to the shooting stand but none other than the original stock/fore-arm off of Mr. Letterman's J-grade, found several months ago at a PA flea market. We verified via the factory records that indeed the stock was special ordered with bird's eye maple and a cheek piece. Notice too, the date on the grip cap insert of 1923, the same year he was crowned champion. We feel that might have been a little gift from Philly for backing their "late-to-the-party" trap gun. No, the rest of the gun is still AWOL but still a very cool piece of Fox history nevertheless!!
